TIES THAT DON'T BIND.-It is re-
ported to US by a travelling man who
came through Richland Center that the
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad Company
have refused to buy the large quantity
of ties that have been and are con-
tinually being delivered at that station,
claiming that great part of the timber
lis worthless. This has greatly ineensed
the business men of Richland, who have
an interest in the ties in that they had
expected to receive pay for goods sold to.
the men who brought them to town.

THE DOUBLE MURDER.
Nothing Throwing Certain Light on the
Murderer Found.

Nothing Throwing Certain Light on the
Murderer Found.
There is very little news regarding the
double murder up ut Holidays Cove. A
rumOr prevailed on the streets yesterday
TO the effect that Bakers missing blue
trousers, covered with blood, had been
found, but the Steuhenville papers, coming
to hand last night, made no mention Of
the fact, and il is probably myth. Such
discovery would be IA very important one.
Baker, through his counsel, has waived a
preliminary examination, and his case now
roes to the grand jury, which meets at
New Cumberland in June. The verdict
OF the COroner's jury gives great satistac-
ton To the people OF Hancock county. The
excitement ut the Cove has quoted down.
Last evenings Steubenvlle Gdzote said:
"The detectives feel certain that if Baker
committed the crime, he carried his bloody
clothing away in his Satchcl for they claim
that no man wOuld have taken a satchcl to
Cross Creek Village in which to hiring
home Il few yards of calico. They will
make a search between tho Cove and Cross
Creek Village for traces that may be left
of the supposed bloody clothing. The de
teCtives refuse TO cOnsiderany other theory
than that Baker is the guilty man, and
after the French system, hold the man
guilty until he proves himself innocent,
hut as yet there has been no evidence that
will hold in law when a man is on trial
for his life, especially after the delays OF
time in hearing cases usual IN murder
trials The people all seem satisfied, but
a jury must be without prejudice and
must weigh every item OF testimony. ltcan-
not accept theories and statements OF detec-
tives and the prisoner Is TO have the benefit
of all doubt.
The theory as TO the missing bonds and
Mrs. Bakers will is that the bonds were
taken by the murderer and the will de
StrOyed, and rs no one but Baker would he
interested in the destruction Of the will, 1t
is held that he must he the guilty man, but
there is no evidence.
Detective COulsOn went Ia New Cum
berland to-day for the purpose of again in
terviewing Baker, but it is likely that he
will now refuse 10 talk.
'ShOreS went 10 HandliD Station and
from there to Cross Creek Village where he
will look for the missing bonds and traces
of bloody garments that might have been
discarded.
"CoulSon returned to the city to-day
from New Cumberland, where he was ad-
mitted To the cell with Baker, and had a
short talk with him, hut he says he got
nothing further ont ot him. The rumOr
on the streets to-day that Baker had made
a confession is without foundation

SOUTHERN ROADS FIRST.
Schoonmaker Explains Why Their Appli'
cations Were First Acted Upon.

cations Were FIRST ACteu pOh'
NEW YORK, May IA Kingstown,
n. Y, dispatch quotes Interstate Com
merce Commissioner SchOonmaker with
saying:
The statement that the Commission
does not see the propriety of doing in the
Northern States what it did with haste
and prior to any investigation in the
South, is inexcusably erroneous. The
Commission has not acted without investi.
cation in any instance. The act requires
that application must he made by car
ricr for relief before the Commission has
jurisdiction To act. The first appliCa-
tons were made by the Southern roads and
for that reason they were the first acted
upon.
Subsequent applications were made by
the transcOntinental lines, and like relief
was granted upon these applications. Sim
liar applications were made by lines from
the West terminating at Chicago, that were
in competition with water line over the
lakes, and similar relief was granted. Upon
applications made by the Rome, Water
town 4 Ogdrnsburg road and the Delaware
& Hudson Canal Company's lines, both
being. in competition with the Grand
Trunk, of Canada, similar relief was granted
~ to passengers
''If relief has not been granted to other
Northern roads or Trunk lines the reason
is that it has not been asked for. The
statement that any discrimination has
been made by the commission in favor Of
Southern roads is entirely unioundcd.
What applications for relief may have
been filed at Washington since the COM
mission left there on April -, am unable
10 state. The rule of the commission has
been TO act upon applications made; not
to volunteer giving relief where none was
sought"
